\r\n(restorations)","additional_info":[{"title":"Additional Information","text":"The present model was conceived in 1744 at the Meissen manufactory by Johann Joachim K\u00e4ndler (1706\u20131775), with the collaboration of the sculptor Peter Reinicke (1711\u20131768). Its creation is documented in K\u00e4ndler's work records, which in June of that year mention the execution of two models of pug dogs, describing in December the figure of a bitch accompanied by a suckling puppy.
\r
\r\nDogs of this breed enjoyed particular popularity in the European courts of the 18th century, and were also associated with the so-called Order of the Pug (Mopsorden), a society of masonic inspiration founded in the 1730s, in which the animal was adopted as a symbol of fidelity and friendship.
\r
\r\nExamples of the same model are reproduced in Rainer R\u00fcckert, Meissener Porzellan 1710\u20131810, Munich, 1966, no. 1092, and in Claire Dumortier and Patrick Habets (eds.), Porcelain Pugs: A Passion, 2019, cat. 1.
